  • Publication number: 20250114415
    Abstract: A method for lowering cholesterol and lipid levels using the Antrodia cinnamomea water-insoluble dietary fiber prepared as herein. After ethanol and water extraction, Antrodia cinnamomea wastes are dried and superfine-comminuted to obtain Antrodia cinnamomea waste powder. The waste powder treated with NaOH solution containing NaBH4 is extracted it twice to obtain two extracts. The two extracts are combined and an appropriate amount of glacial acetic acid are added for neutralization. The extracts are centrifugalized and precipitate is collected. After washing the precipitate with ultrapure water, the precipitate is dissolved with LiCl-DMSO. The precipitate that is insoluble in the LiCl-DMSO solution is dialyzed and freeze-dried to obtain the water-insoluble dietary fiber component ACA-IDK of Antrodia cinnamomea. The LiCl-DMSO solution is subjected to ethanol/DMSO fractional precipitation, and then the precipitate is collected and dialyzed.

  • Publication number: 20220306983
    Abstract: A Lactobacillus plantarum strain AR113 with protection effect on apoplexy. The Lactobacillus plantarum strain AR113 deposited in China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) under CGMCC Accession No. 13909 on Mar. 22, 2017. The Lactobacillus plantarum AR113 strain can increase the antioxidant enzyme activity of brain tissue, reduce the level of oxidation products, activate the Nrf-ARE signal pathway, and regulate the relative expression of antioxidant factors Nrf2, NQO-1, and HO-1. Additionally, it can down-regulate the mRNA expression of pro-apoptotic factors Cyt-C, Caspase-3 and Bax, and up-regulate the relative expression of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, thereby improving brain cell damage caused by cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.

  • Patent number: 10920229
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for improving the heterologous synthesis of a polyketide by E. coli and use thereof. The yield of the polyketide heterologously synthesized by E. coli is significantly increased by attenuating the expression of seventy-two genes, such as sucC and talB, in a host strain, wherein the highest yield increase rate can reach 60% or more. Currently, erythromycin is the most clear model compound in the study on the biosynthesis of polyketids. The production strain of the present invention enables massive accumulation of 6-deoxyerythronolide (6-dEB), an erythromycin precursor, in the fermentation process, laying the foundation for the industrial production of the heterologous synthesis of erythromycin by E. coli.

  • Patent number: 9525648
    Abstract: A method for acquiring a physical address of a virtual machine includes acquiring, by a first switching endpoint, an address list of N switching endpoints from a centralized controller after receiving an address acquisition request sent by a first virtual machine, where the N switching endpoints include a second switching endpoint, sending, in a unicast manner according to the address list, the request to the N switching endpoints that include the second switching endpoint, and after receiving a second response sent by the second switching endpoint, sending the second response to the first virtual machine. The method may avoid the limitation on the quantity of created switching endpoints caused by the insufficient quantity of multicast groups of the switch in order to increase the quantity of created switching endpoints.

  • Publication number: 20150358232
    Abstract: A packet forwarding method and a VXLAN gateway. A VXLAN packet is received. The VXLAN packet includes a communication packet that is sent from a first VM to a second VM; a second VNI of a subnet in which a next-hop device of the communication packet is located is determined according to a first VNI of the VXLAN packet and an IP address of the second VM of the VXLAN packet; the communication packet is encapsulated according to the second VNI; and then an encapsulated VXLAN packet is forwarded to the next-hop device through a tunnel corresponding to the second VNI, to avoid that the VXLAN gateway can implement forwarding of the VXLAN packet only after the VXLAN gateway modifies the communication packet in the payload of the VXLAN packet, and improve efficiency of forwarding the VXLAN packet.
